My partner and I have this continual disagreement:
-- I say an "album" is a collection of tracks by an artist that constitute a release, in any format. (E.g. "I am totally enamoured with Funckarma's new album 'Solid State'. I recently received the CD from Forced Exposure and have been listening to it a lot since. Such beautiful colours! I no longer consider Funckarma brown."
-- He says an "album" is the vinyl format of a release. (E.g. "Most of L'usine's EPs are albums, which we can't get because we don't have a turntable. But a lot of the tracks appear on A Pseudo Steady State anyway, so we might not be missing much.")
Which one of us has the terminology correct?
